As I thought, turtled to the max, living off the work of other players.
0 production, 0 tax and massive army = player farmers. Or will you surround your city with npc's to feed your ever growing army ?
Still no resolution on the removal of player created npc's by the way, so if they go, well it's not hard to imagine where your "alliance" would source it's requirements. You might see yourself as something else but to me you would look like a thug and a bully and for the good of my alliance I would expend great numbers of troops to remove you.
